Isotretinoin is a synthetic substance similar to vitamin A, widely used in dermatological medicines that help in the treatment of severe acne. This drug may be considered a possible harmful factor to the male reproductive system, causing structural changes in these organs, since the drug is directly related to cell proliferation and differentiation. Thus, this study aims to assess the prostate, to be added to conclusions obtained from the assessment of structures potentially affected by isotretinoin.
